Wide Trifecta and a wide F4 for me ... and I'm including a few of the overseas horses and a few locals

But it's a lottery especially with the weather closing in on the day ... Heavy 8 or worse and it's a crapshoot

 

And with the imports it makes it hard, you don’t know their form out here, how did they travel, did they lose a lot of weight? Is it back on? Etc etc etc

Wow Macca, I had no idea. I stopped following the horse once mate got out of it in 2021. It is flying since it went to Darwin by the look of it. 
Funny you mention it today too, same mate has a runner in the last at Canterbury tonight, Nominator.

Anamoe toys with them and wins easily!  What an absolute star!  Magic ride by JMac

Royal Ascot on the agenda in late June!  The mile or the mile and a quarter is the choice

@JV7@Dee Zephyr@Gorgoroth@Go the Biff @Wadda We Sing @Redleg@Mr Steve

Lightning Stakes tomorrow and Gator has nominated Buenos Noches (15-1) to knock off the champ, Nature Strip

Certainly might be worth putting Buenos in a place multi as it can get into the finish if it gets a good run from the outside barrier (Grandstand side the best going?)

Some great racing though, in both Melbourne & Sydney with 10 Stakes races all-up

So looking for some value elsewhere,  here's my value tip

Flemington R8 No.3 Scallopini 8.00/2.40

Been away from the punt mostly, got some really big expenses so very little play money. But might be worth a small punt on those.

 

Thanks for the tip!

The race to race place multi can often deliver a decent dividend.  I will sometimes do the 2/3 parlay place whilst including 3 value runners (for the odds)

As for the tip, it's just something that I reckon can run well. I bet for the win but my focus can be on place multi's ... a bit the same for short priced winners (multi's)

Coolangatta wins the Lightning!  Superbly ridden by Jamie Kah

I Wish I Win flew home for 2nd.  Ideal prep for the All-Star Mile

But all credit to the former Magic Millions winner.  Royal Ascot well on the agenda this year, according to the trainer


Excellent tough, brave win to Scallopini!! Superbly rated by Damian Lane

It's a more than decent horse that was better than the 7-1 win odds on offer (early doors)

Cheers @MaccaScallopini rounds out the day nicely 

Hindsight tells us that Coolangatta was the one in the Lightning.  Only carried 53.5 kgs which was probably the difference in a driving finish.  Newmarket & TJ Smith next up you'd imagine but they also need to prepare for Royal Ascot

Buenos Nachos just needed it a bit further but one to watch.  I was on Osipenko in the Hobartville as well so a decent day

Stable are looking at keeping him to sprinting trips this prep. Next stop - the Newmarket. That was a pretty decent audition for it

In Secret,  Giga Kick* & Coolangatta will offer fierce opposition in the Newmarket, GtB, but I Wish I Win's finish on Saturday (in the Lightning) was spectacular

Private Eye & Buenos Noches will be powering home as well you'd imagine

So it will be another fabulous rendition of the time-honoured classic (March 11th)

The All-Star Mile is on March 18th so could 'I Wish I Win' back up so soon a week later up to the mile?  It's got the 3rd most votes so far so it's assured of a start

 

*Giga Kick might only run in Sydney this Autumn (Challenge Stakes, TJ Smith Stakes and maybe then Royal Ascot?)

Footnote: There's talk that 'I Wish I Win' might be entered for Royal Ascot as well

Gator's 2/3 parlay is worth passing on this week

Sandown R5 #2 Pericles 3.30

Sandown R7 #12 Steel City 5.50

Sandown R8 #1 I'm Thunderstruck 3.70

Close on 70-1 for the treble

Big meeting on at Geelong today including a sprint race worth $500k ... a crack field  assembled for the race too (R7)

The race prior (R6) is also a good betting event (Country Oaks)

Few week ago I brought Mirco shares in a couple of race horses. Now I most likely own the wart on their backside but it has been the best ride I have had for some time. Never going to make any money but I highly recommend have a go it you have a few dollars.

Moir Stakes tomorrow night looks to be suited for 'Imperatriz' again but it's at very short odds.  Whilst I reckon it will win again, Rothfire & Uncommon James represent the value.  Maybe the exotics?

Up in Sydney on Saturday there are 3 big Group 1's.  2 firm favourites in the Metrop & the Flight Stakes but lots of value in both races.  The Epsom is a wide-open race

Click on any of the links for the Previews

Metropolitan Hcp

Flight Stakes

Epsom Hcp

Imperatriz sets another track record in winning the Moir Stakes!  Staying in Melbourne too bypassing the Everest.  Next up the Manikato Stakes then the sprint on Champions day at Flemington

What a star!  Just cruised up and whoosho!

Earlier, Amelia's Jewel won the Stocks Stakes in fine style ... so it's the Golden Eagle or the Cox Plate on the horizon (close enough to favourite in either race)

Oaks day tomorrow and Zardozi ($3) will be hard to beat in the feature event

Dangers might come from Basilinna,  Aethelflaed & Amazonian Lass (all at value odds)

Tropical Squall has claims as well

@Gorgoroth @JV7  @YearOfTheDees  @Go the Biff  @Dee Zephyr  @Biffen  @Clintosaurus  @Mr Steve    @Redleg 

And it's not over yet!  Caulfield Saturday and it will be an interesting experiment by the MRC with regards to moving the Thousand Guineas from mid October

So there's 3 good betting races (2 at G1 level) to round out the Spring carnival (although the Perth summer carnival at Ascot does provide some keen and competitive racing)

Anyway, here are the 3 races and odds

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
